To find the probability of Joseph picking a key lime piece of taffy you will create a fraction with the number of possible outcomes over the total possible outcomes.
<u># of key lime taffies</u> <u>12</u>
total # of taffies = 60
12/60 = 1/5
1/5 = 0.2
Joseph has a 0.2 probability of picking a key lime taffy.
What’s up again douglas. it would be B
Answer:
There area 14 one cent stamps
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> the number of 1 cent stamps
y -----> the number of 8 cent stamps
z -----> the number of 12 cent stamps
we know that
0.01x+0.08y+0.12z=1.78 -------> equation A
x=y+4 ------> y=x-4 -----> equation B
x=2z -----> z=0.5x ------> equation C
substitute equation B and equation C in equation A and solve for x
0.01x+0.08(x-4)+0.12(0.5x)=1.78
0.01x+0.08x-0.32+0.06x=1.78
0.15x=1.78 +0.32
0.15x=2.10
x=14
therefore
There area 14 one cent stamps
Let the no. of $10 bills be x, the no. of $5 bills be 2x, and the no. of $20 bills be y.
<span>A cashier collects 124 bills => x + 2x + y = 124 => 3x +y =124
</span>totaling $920 dollars => ($10)(x) + ($5)(2x) + ($20)(y) = $920 => 20x + 20y = 920
Now you got 2 equations :
3x +y =124 &
20x + 20y = 920
3x +y =124 => y=124-3x
Then Sub y=124-3x into 20x + 20y = 920,
ie. 20x + 20(124-3x) = 920
20x + 2480 - 60x = 920
2480 - 40x = 920
2480 - 920 = 40x
1560 = 40x
x = 39
-6x - 10 > 14 + 2x
<u>-2x </u> <u> -2x </u>
-8x - 10 > 14 THIS IS THE MISSING STEP
<u> +10</u> <u>+10 </u>
-8x > 24
x < -3
Answer: x < -3
